Grocery Store Eggs Vs. Public Market Eggs
Most of us have probably heard about the differences between the eggs you buy at a major grocery store and those bought from a small, local farmer, but if you have yet to see the two compared side-by-side, Carl Huber has you covered. He pits eggs from Wegmans against eggs from his local public market in hard boiled and over easy form, and shows how much more yellow the public market yolks are. And even though he says his taste buds are underdeveloped, he found that, "The grocery store brand seemed watered down, flimsy and pale. The robust taste of the public market eggs was immediately noticeable." Although they cost a little more than supermarket eggs, it seems worth it to buy the ones laid by chickens who were allowed to roam around freely.
